What it does
The Helping to Encourage Real Opportunities (HERO) for Youth Act of 2025 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to expand and modify the work opportunity credit for certain youth employees. It would extend the credit to year-round employment for youth working up to 20 hours per week while attending secondary school between September 16 and April 30, increase the credit amount by restructuring subparagraphs, and create a new credit for "disconnected youth" defined as individuals aged 16–24 who are not regularly attending school or employed and lack basic skills, or certain foster youth aged 16–20. The changes would apply to individuals who begin work after the bill’s enactment.
